If you use the standard configuration and you create a "directory" in=20 your pool, zfs automatically mount it based on the configuration of your = pool. So if your zroot mounts to / and you create zroot/home it will be=20 mounted to /home. If you want to migrate an old UFS to ZFS make sure you mount your new=20 zpool to an alternative root, to not shadow your current data: zpool create -f -o altroot=3D/mnt zroot /dev/gpt/... (your disc label) If you have already a pool you can them import to an alternative root: zpool import -f -o altroot=3D/mnt -d /dev/gpt zroot Replace zroot with your poolname.
